The Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS) has incredible powers, although many see it as just one of the three branches of our federal government. With the wrong Justices, the SCOTUS can literally rewrite our U.S. Constitution and take rights and protections away from citizens. There is already one opening due to Justice Scalia passing away, and a very liberal President in January nominating a very liberal Justice to the SCOTUS would tip the current balance to a liberal SCOTUS. Actually our next President of the USA will likely have the opportunity to nominate three Justices to the SCOTUS, and this will affect our Supreme Court for the next three decades. With additional very liberal Justices, given what is going on today, our nation will become unrecognizable and may never recover.

We watched the current SCOTUS vote in a court case to require every citizen to purchase health care (nowhere in the U.S. Constitution), Obamacare, and then the SCOTUS proceeded in another court case to redefine a word, marriage, that had been understood without question since 1300. There are other concerns such as will a Jurist to the SCOTUS honestly interpret the law and be a strict constructionist or attempt to rewrite our Constitution. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg (nominated to the Supreme Court by Bill Clinton in 1993) has caused another concern as she said we should use the laws of other nations to determine U.S. law. Also, Sharia law is creeping into our lower court system. Justice Elena Kagan (nominated to the Supreme Court by Barack Obama) has made similar comments as Ginsburg about international law having weight when interpreting our Constitution. The U.S. President also nominates numerous federal judges in lower courts.

A somewhat recent case in the SCOTUS challenging President Obama’s use of a large scale amnesty for illegal immigrants and attempting to rewrite existing immigration laws and usurp powers reserved for Congress was not defeated, but with a vote of 4 to 4, was sent back to a lower federal court. All of the Democrat appointees to the SCOTUS voted to allow powers Obama does not legally have. This ruling was especially scary given the case was really about the Separation of Powers between the President and the U.S. Congress as defined in our Constitution.

We have more proof the refugee and asylum programs relating to immigration are allowing terrorists into the USA.

A study by Fordham University Law School’s Center on National Security on ISIS prosecutions in the USA shows that of all ISIS prosecutions of terrorism in the United States, 18 percent were refugees or asylees.

Leon Rodriguez, Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), admitted in a US Senate hearing in late September, 2016 that he did not know the actual number of refugees admitted to the U.S. who had later been convicted of terrorist offenses. US Senator David Vitter (R) said, in questioning Rodriguez, Congress had asked the administration for this number and it had not been provided.

See the attached joint letter (down below) from the US House Judiciary and US House Oversight committees which details an uncovered ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) memorandum which details how our USA immigration system is being exploited, especially related to refugees, and how identity fraud and refugee fraud is easy to commit by those wanting to enter our nation illegally.

All the while President Obama and Hillary Clinton both want significant increases in refugees from Syria and in general. Donald Trump wants nearly the exact opposite and wants extreme vetting for refugees from countries where adequate screening is very difficult.

CIS recently reported on robust trafficking in fraudulent passports apparently bound for use by Islamic State militants who have infiltrated Greek refugee camps.

Immigration to the United States has again surged. More than 3 million legal and illegal immigrants settled in the USA in the last two years. Also see county maps and info on the immigrant population at the county level from 1990-2014.

Although the Obama administration claims deportations have hit an all-time high, they’ve actually hit record lows, covered-up by a shell game of phony numbers. Often illegal immigrants who are caught at the border are released at the border or bused a few miles back into Mexico only to reappear and frequently after several attempts, successfully enter the USA but are counted as deportations. In the past only those removed from the interior of the USA were counted as actual deportees. And under Obama, deportations for illegal immigrants caught in the interior are counted when deportation orders are completed for illegal immigrants, not necessarily whether they left the USA.

Jessica Vaughan of the Center for Immigration Studies says, “These numbers show that the president is hardly the deporter-in-chief as so many of the ethnic advocacy groups have tried to paint him. A better title would be releaser-in-chief … because ICE is now releasing more illegal aliens than they are trying to deport when their agents find them in the interior of the country.”

A closer examination shows that immigrants living illegally in most of the continental U.S. are less likely to be deported today than before President Obama came to office, according to immigration data by DHS.
